Abstract:

A field evaluation and follow-up excavation took place on a site adjacent to the course of the Roman road from Alchester to Dorchester (thought to be defined by the contemporary Bayswater Road) and close to a point where the Bayswater Brook was crossed.

The road surface became heavily rutted and was repaired on several occasions. It is though that this was a local diversion caused by the need to avoid excessive erosion of the main Roman road as it sloped steeply down to the Bayswater Brook. Specialist reports include
